Hello Axle, I'm the one who had a spir@l crack on me, and I'm sorry that I made you paranoid. There isn't much to be worried about as long as everything is well thought out. Like BigBen, I suggest to go with plastic barbs on your waterblock if you want a poly top. This goes for both the maze3 and the spir@l/TC-4. Dtek is developing annodized aluminum tops for the spir@ls if you want to wait for a metal top, and I know DangerDen offers copper tops on their maze3s.

When I first started watercooling, I was worried I'd trash my equipment beyond repair, too. But everything kept chugging along and now it's like old hat for the most part. For the first time, try running your watercooler without any equipment until you feel ready (24hrs, a couple days...). Then you can attach it to your comp when you're confident.
